Chapter 743: Chapter 742 - 390: Early Signs of Catastrophe

“The official response is really fast.”

Looking at the information in the forum, Su Nan sighed quietly.

Obviously, the officials had no confidence in the opening of the space channel and were ready to avoid the crisis by entering the game completely.

It was normal, though. Ordinary people didn’t know the situation on Song Mountain, but the officials could guess it somewhat.

In their view, Su Nan had no chance of resisting the Emperor-level demon, and the outcome in the real world was already decided.

Perhaps to reduce losses and preserve strength, the officials might directly give up resistance when the time comes.

Continuing to browse other posts, Su Nan tried to find useful information.

Surprisingly, it didn’t take long for him to find a post that attracted his attention.

“Sudden signs of a demonic plague outbreak in the Northern Ice Province!”

A brief title, but revealing huge information.

Demonic plague?

Su Nan’s heart moved. Even without looking at the content of the post, he already guessed that the so-called demonic plague must be related to the trapped demon beast.

“Just yesterday, a very powerful demon appeared in an area called Permafrost Glacier in the Northern Ice Province. The demon is said to possess Peak Emperor-level strength. Even the demon clan can’t withstand it.”

“Now that demon has occupied the Permafrost Glacier, it is said that there are still many demons suppressed below the glacier. It won’t be long before these demons will also break free, and a demonic plague will inevitably break out in the Northern Ice Province.”

The content of the post wasn’t long, but it contained a lot of information.

Su Nan’s heart tightened: “Including the one in the White Winged Tiger Clan’s Ancestral Land, this is already the second Emperor-level demon that hasescaped.”

“Now that the Fourth Public Test hasn’t begun, there have been successive appearances of Peak Emperor-level demons. Once the Fourth Public Test begins tomorrow, and the Heavenly and Earthly vitality surges again, more demons will inevitably break free.”

“Perhaps after tomorrow, demons will appear in all provinces, and not just the Northern Ice Province will experience a demonic plague.”

The demon clan had already made the human nations desperate. If a demonic plague broke out, it would be adding insult to injury for the human race.

Of course, another result might also occur – the human race and the demon clan joining forces to fight against the demons together, since the appearance of the demons wasn’t a good thing for the demon clan either.

The demons were the common enemies of both the human race and the demon clan.

Strictly speaking, the outbreak of the demonic plague was more harmful to the demon clan than to the human race.

“And there’s also the Heavenly Race. Tens of millions of players have cultivated the Heaven Summoning Sutra. Once that ancient scripture is cultivated, it cannot be stopped.”

“This means that with the help of the Heaven Summoning Sutra, the Heavenly Race might have already returned from the Primordial Chaos and will only be a matter of time before they appear.”

“Demon Clan, Demon Race, Heavenly Race… it seems the fourth catastrophe that Du Qiyuan mentioned for the human race is on its way.”

Thinking of all this, Su Nan’s heart felt even heavier, with an invisible pressure on him.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t something he could change with his current strength. All he could do now was to improve his strength as much as possible.

Luckily, due to the situation of the Heavens and Earth, there were no Saint-level beings appearing for now.

He just didn’t know if this situation would change after the Fourth Public Test tomorrow.

Inside the Great Hero Treasure Hall.

After more than ten hours of hard work, with the joint efforts of the two Spirits of Divine Dao, 90% of the area covered by the sacrificial space had been baptized with the power of incense.

Waiting for another hour or two, the baptism would end, and the initial construction of the Supreme Divine Soil would be completed.

Looking at his incense power, the amount of it in his divine soul sea had been almost depleted after refining. If it weren’t for the constant supply of incense power being refined, his incense power wouldn’t be enough to support such large-scale consumption.

There was still plenty of time, so Su Nan wasn’t in a hurry. He waited patiently.

An hour later.

He took out the Celestial Demon Bone Umbrella.

With the connection to the God Soul Seed, he could clearly feel that the God Soul nurtured by the Celestial Demon Bone Umbrella had grown into a small tree.

It had only been a day, and the speed of growth was truly fast.

This was not only due to his current strong divine soul but also because the newly-born divine soul in the bone umbrella was very weak in the absence of any nourishment from essence blood.

“Huh? This umbrella…”

Seeing Su Nan take out the Celestial Demon Bone Umbrella, Xixue couldn’t help but pause, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

The other two Demon Kings, one thin and one short, also had a slight change in their expressions.

However, Ying Gao, Old Goat, and the other Mysterious and Spiritual level demon beasts had no reaction. It was clear that they could not detect anything unusual about the bone umbrella.

Seeing the reaction of the demon beasts, Su Nan’s heart moved and he asked Xixue, “Why? Do you recognize this umbrella?”

Xixue shook her head: “I don’t recognize it, but for some reason, it makes me feel an inexplicable fear.”

The other two Demon Kings nodded, obviously feeling the same way.

“Fear?” Su Nan couldn’t help but think of the changes in the relief carvings in the Heavenly Demon Hall’s prophecy. Those reliefs also looked at the bone umbrella with fear.

He didn’t know what this implied.

“This umbrella is called the Celestial Demon Bone Umbrella,” Su Nan said.

“Celestial Demon Bone Umbrella?”

“Celestial Demon?”

The Demon Kings were startled for a moment. They seemed to have thought of something and looked at each other with shock and suspicion in their eyes.

Su Nan knew what they were thinking and said, “Yes, just as you imagined.”

Even though he couldn’t be sure that the Celestial Demon Bone Umbrella was really related to the Celestial Demon, it didn’t affect his use of the umbrella’s reputation to deter the Demon Kings.
